Das vorliegende Werk stellt den Blick von der Uferpromenade von Pully auf den Genfersee dar. Es zeigt die Ansicht über den See auf die Schulter des Malatraix, die Spitzen der Tour de Mayen und der Tour d'Aï und der auf der rechten Seite befindlichen Flanke der Croix de la Lé. Insgesamt gibt es nur drei Bilder von Ferdinand Hodler mit dem Motiv des Weidenbaums am Genfersee von Pully aus, die den gleichen Blick auf den See wiedergeben. Dieses Gemälde ähnelt der zweiten Fassung Weidenbaum am Genfersse, um 1891, die aber nicht im Original vorliegt und deren Verbleib unbekannt ist. Bei der ersten Fassung Weidenbaum am Genfersee, um 1882 des Kunstmuseums Winterthur ist neben dem Baum noch ein sitzender Knabe dargestellt.
This piece reveals the view from the promenade along the shore of the Lake of Geneva in Pully. The aspect of the painting is looking out over the lake to the shoulder of the Malatraix mountain, the peaks of the Tour de Mayen and the Tour d’Aï, and the right-hand flank of the Croix de la Lé. Ferdinand Holder made only three paintings with the motif of a willow tree by the Lake of Geneva from the town of Pully that have the same view across the water. This painting is similar to the second version of Willow Tree by the Lake of Geneva, from 1891, the original of which has disappeared and its whereabouts is unknown. In the original version of Willow Tree by the Lake of Geneva, from 1882 a boy depicted in it sitting next to the tree.
